There IS One Hangover Cure Which Works, Scientists Say

There is only one hangover cure which works,, scientists have discovered - but it’s the most painful and terrible one of all.

Yes, that’s right. Not drinking too much in the first place.

Dutch scientists from the University of Utrecht questioned 789  drinkers and found that the hangover cures which people swear by - such as drinking water and eating big meals, don’t work at all.

People who say they ‘don’t get hangovers’ have a secret, too - they’re not drinking quite as much as they believe, the researchers found using blood-alcohol tests.

Lead researcher Dr Joris Verster, said, ‘From what we know from the surveys so far, the only practical way to avoid a hangover is to drink less alcohol.

‘Those who took food or water showed a slight statistical improvement in how they felt over those who didn't, but this didn't really translate into a meaningful difference.

‘In general, we found a pretty straight relationship; the more you drink, the more likely you are to get a hangover.

‘The majority of those who in fact reported never having a hangover tended to drink less - perhaps less than they themselves thought would lead to a hangover.’
